Coffee

Meredith got home from Giant in about five minutes. She was nervous this was her chance at a friend in Hershey. She quickly put the groceries away and ran upstairs to put the pregnancy test in the bathroom. She felt her phone vibrate and saw it was Cristina.

"Hey Mer," Cristina said into the phone.

"Hey Cristina"

"So are you in Hershey yet."

"Yeah I'm going to go have coffee with someone in like forty minutes."

"You're already replacing me Mer. Where did you meet this person? Are they normal?"

"Yes I think Dani is normal. She is a doctor and we were both staring at something in the food store debating whether we needed them."

"What kind of doctor? And What were you debating about?" Cristina asked she was starting to get jealous of Dani which was ridiculous she didn't even know her, but Meredith was her person.

"She's a pediatric resident in the hospital. We were both looking at magazines. Cosmopolitan." Meredith was rushing around the house trying to find her clean shirts and hair brush.

"So did you buy them?"

"Yeah I thought I might need it if I get lonely."

"Oh, you can always come home Mer. We all miss you so much and McDreamy isn't here anymore and its rumored that Addison and Mark are leaving when their contracts are up. Just come home soon."

"I'll be fine Cristina. Maybe I'll come back in a year or two. I just need people to forget. Here I'm not always talked about. I need this Cristina I need to know I can do it on my own."

"Couldn't you do it on your own in County?"

"No I need this now I got to go and meet up with Dani. I'll call you guys tomorrow. Bye Cristina and your still my person.'

"Bye Mer, your still my person too."

Meredith was running around the house trying to find her shoes and get out the door. She made it to Chocolate World in record time and met up with Dani.

"Hey Meredith you made it. I thought you got lost."

"No my friend Cristina called and said she misses me and wouldn't let me off the phone."

"Oh did you tell her about meeting up with me."

"Yeah and then she wanted to know how we met. The best I could come up with was we were debating whether to buy Cosmopolitan."

"She believed that. That's so funny."

"So your married isn't a pregnancy a good thing. Do you want kids or is your marriage in trouble."

"My marriage is in trouble. We were different people when we got married. I never thought I could fall out of love, but I guess its possible. Now I am two months late and I don't know. If I am pregnant do I stay in a loveless marriage for the baby's sake? He wouldn't want to get a divorce if were having a baby."

"I think I would be worse off. The baby's father, if there is a baby; I don't know where he is now. We both left Seattle and he didn't tell anyone not even the chief where he went so I couldn't inform him if I am. I am single and don't have friends or family here. My job is demanding and I didn't have the best home life growing up. My mother worked constantly and I always had a nanny and my parents divorced when I was little. I would just screw a kid up. When the love of my life and I were together I thought it was a matter of time before we had a baby, but now I don't know if I want one. My life is screwed up. I would screw up a kid's life." By the time Meredith was finished talking she had tears in her eyes.

"I think I am pregnant Mer. I just didn't want to admit it until now sometimes denial works better you know."

"Yeah I know. I had a feeling that I was and I am sore and I cry now. I had a craving the other day for Chinese food I hate Chinese food. The test will only confirm my fears."

"Yeah I know what you mean. We probably shouldn't be drinking these coffees then. We could get through this together if we both are. I don't really have any close friends. They say pregnancy is better if you have a friend to go through it with. Maybe then I will be able to leave my husband."

"What does your husband do for a living?"

"He is an oncologist."

"Oh so he is a doctor to. That can get awkward at work though."

"Yeah, but I cant lie to myself anymore."

"You shouldn't have to. So we are taking the tests tomorrow and then meeting up for lunch. Where?"

"How about The Hershey Grill. It has really good desserts. I am craving something with peanut butter want to go get a dessert the have the best bakery in here?"

"Yeah" She now found the strength to take the test tomorrow whatever the results she had a friend with her now. Maybe there kids could grow up together. She thought of many things about her future. How would she tell her friends if she was pregnant? Would they want her to move back?
